discussion American Chopper (ish) Finished, Centurion3RTR

[Centurion3RTR]

It's now finished Woop!! No, i can't say woop really as it was a very enjoyable build and it took me out of my comfort zone. I did have problems though, i was going to fit all the brake lines and wireing. It just wouldn't do as it was told, so now i've made it look like it's going through the frame lol.

A very clean build John, Excellent work. ............ :score: from me.

Just one thing............. The "bitch" needs to chill and relax some for the photographs....... She's a bit wooden.

[john i am]

Great work on the chopper the guys from OCC would be proud of it. 10/10 I do agree with Peter she does look abit stiff. Was Barbie not available

 

[papa 695]

Very nice John very nice indeed really like the colour 5 from me mate

 

[PaulTRose]

[Guest]

That is one class model John, really nice paint job.....I know now't about bikes, but I do know an excellent build when I see one...Big 5 for sure.

Good to see your missus involved too!!lol Don't tell her for gawd's sake!

Well Ron cracked the purple chopper gag so I can't use that

All I can say is its a nice clean build, looks realistic as well, that purple certainly carries nicely down to a scale model.

I'd be well chuffed with that

Worth 5 of anybodies stars.

 

[Centurion3RTR]

Thanks everyone, i'm chuffed to bits. As for the colour, it's called Amaranth Pearl and believe it or not it's from Rover.

@Peter. She wouldn't sit still mate. That's why there's only one photo and she messed that up lol.

@Paul. The headlamp was a last minute thing. Just didn't look right because i'd de-chromed a lot of the chopper.

@Ron. My lips are sealed mate. Until the next Boddingtons lol.

Thanks again all, loved every minute of this build. And it was nice to join in on the GB too.

Have fun, John

Beautiful job there John. 'an 'ere was me thinkin' that it was compulsory to 'ave flames on all chopper paintwork! *****

[mossiepilot]

Great work John, and that skull carb looks great.

5 stars mate.

Tony

 

[Centurion3RTR]

Ha ha, Dave, the kit did come with flame decals mate. It was my intention to have flames but I just could not cover that Amaranth Pearl. Not the fact that because I've changed the shape of the fuel tank and rear mudguard the decals wouldn't fit anymore lol.

Tony mate, from the start of this build I was looking for something to use as a carb, but all the spares I have are from tank models. The skull is in the kit and when dry fitted I liked it, so had to stay (plus a 1/48 scale Tiger drive sprocket just didn't look good lol) .

Have fun, John

 

[PaulTRose]

As for the colour, it's called Amaranth Pearl and believe it or not it's from Rover.

thanks for that cos i do like the colour............dont worry about it being Rover cos mines a Fiat Punto colour!! :laughing::laughing::laughing:

so...any more bikes planned for the future?

 

[Centurion3RTR]

I love the colour Paul, but I've been having thoughts of respraying my old Mk3 Capri in it lol.

Yes mate, I can see a two wheeled future. Like the idea of building a streetfighter or something lol. Should be fun.

Have fun, John

 

[Wendall]

Quality build John, very nice indeed. *****
